Abstract: A digital moving picture photographing apparatus is provided for increasing user convenience by excluding unnecessary parts of a recording moving picture and starting/stopping a photographing operation automatically, as is an appertaining method and computer readable recording with code to implement the method. The digital moving picture photographing apparatus includes: an image capture device for generating image data from incident light; and a storage medium for storing the image data generated by the image capture device. The method includes: starting storing data of frame images, when a movement of a subject is sensed from the frame images of image data generated by the image capture device in a shooting mode; and stopping the recording of the moving picture when the movement of the subject is not sensed from the frame images of the image data generated by the image capture device during storing of the frame images in the storage medium.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting thumbnail images to an external apparatus. The method of controlling a thumbnail display, the method including connecting to an external apparatus; and in response to receiving characteristic information of the external apparatus, transmitting to the external apparatus a number of thumbnail images according to the characteristic information. The method may include providing a menu screen for a user to input the characteristic information. The method may include providing a menu screen for a user to input at least one of: a number of thumbnails to display or a size of thumbnails to display. Transmitting may include transmitting the thumbnail images sized to be inversely proportional to the number of thumbnail images so as to fit a display of the external apparatus.
